We invite submissions of original research papers and pictorials that explore innovative contributions within the scope of the conference. All submissions will undergo a rigorous peer-review process to ensure quality and relevance. Accepted works will be presented during the conference and published in the official conference proceedings. ​

Full Papers have no strict page limit, but their length should align with the scope and significance of their contribution. Typical submissions range from 6,000 to 8,000 words (excluding references, captions, and appendices). Submissions under 4,000 words or over 12,000 words may face desk rejection. Papers should be concise yet thorough, avoiding repetition or verbosity, while ensuring all critical details, relevant prior work, and proper formatting are included. Submissions that deviate significantly from these guidelines may be rejected.​

For the Pictorials format we follow Designing Interactive Systems Conference guidelines. Pictorials should combine visual and textual content to effectively communicate research, design processes, or critical insights. Pictorials must be submitted using the templates and not exceed 12 pages, excluding references. On the first page of the submission please keep with the template and include the submission’s title, author(s) and their affiliation(s) (leave blank for double blind review), and a written abstract of no more than 150 words succinctly describing the background and context of the pictorial as well as its contribution to the Biodesign community. Further written parts known from other conference formats such as Introduction, Conclusion, Discussion, Acknowledgements, and References are optional. The main part of the submission should be an annotated visual composition and we encourage submissions to use the format creatively. ​
